Welcome to the "Web Projects" forums. Before you post, make sure you've selected the correct category based on the size of your project (in US dollars), or whether it is a partnership or "looking for work" request instead. Observe the guidelines for this section:

To all thread starters, check your "pm" box for responses, as that's how bidders will be communicating with you mainly using. You can turn on new pm notification by going to "User CP"-> "Edit Options"-> "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages".

To respondents, avoid replying to a thread with a short generic response like "pm sent" as much as possible. It is pointless and clutters up the screen.

To respondents, don't reply to a work request with a summary of your resume. If you're not willing to spend the time to at least read the request and respond specifically to the request, then don't reply. The Web Projects forum isn't a place to get your resume/ portfolio posted on as many threads as possible, it's for the direct, human interaction between coder and client. Members who blanket the forums with their resume replies will be treated as spammers and banned.

To all thread starters, please update your thread's prefix to "resolved", when you've found a coder for your project or partnership (or wish to terminate the request). This is so coders don't waste time bidding on an invalid project. To do this, click on the "Edit" button under the first post of the thread, then the "Go Advanced" button. You have 14 days to update your thread's title.

Thanks for following the guidelines.

Javascript Programmer / In-text ads

1) Project Details: (be as specific as possible):

We need someone who is excellent at JavaScript to program for us the pop-up system for an inline advertising system.

We need a script, that given a keyword will search through the current page and link all of these words to a specified URL (ignoring the keyword when it is already a link, etc...) then, when a user hovers over, it should display a box, in which we can display an ad.

An example of what we're trying to achieve can be seen here:http://infolinks.com/
(Hover over the green double underlined word that says 'In-text Advertising')

We already have the technology to display the ads, so this isn't a problem what we need you to build is the JavaScript that given a keyword will link words on the page an present these pop-up boxes.

We already have the design, and a working (but buggy) prototype, we will give you all of this, we want to stick to the design but it's up to you if you want to build upon our prototype system, or re-code your own from scratch.

The code you create must be lightweight and work on most recent/modern browsers. (if it doesn't work 100% with a browser, it must not execute the code at all on that browser).

If I may rephrase: the work is to find given keywords in a page,
install mouse hover event to all found, valid keywords for in-text ad popup?

Also, for a rework on the in-text ad engine to be done,
could you be a bit more specific what browsers this engine needs
to be compatible: all modern browsers like firefox, opera, safari, chrome and IExplorer?
